I can hear the Bargain Bucket just over the horizon, rolling this way filled with howling plushies, but I wanted to point out one sale specifically.

Ben liked and linked the (still available) free version last August, and now it’s getting a more robust Steam release tomorrow.

Details and a trailer are waiting for you below, in the testing chamber.

That’s the premise of Boson X a “rotational runner” where you must guide yourself through an infinitely expanding experiment by leaping from platform to platform. I’ve had a play of a preview build and there’s a beautiful trailer available so long as you don’t accidentally create a black hooooooooo…
